  1. 0:00Spirit of revelation and understanding
  2. 0:05may granted unto us be granted unto us
  3. 0:08to God this morning in the things that
  4. 0:10we hear.
  5. 0:12Oh God, we may be brought to a place of
  6. 0:15beholding and seeing. Help us to
  7. 0:18experience
  8. 0:20that element of wonder of God in our
  9. 0:22lives. We thank thee again, Father. We
  10. 0:25pray for each one of us
  11. 0:28that we may be actively alive to thy
  12. 0:31holy spirit this morning. Yes, God. And
  13. 0:35Lord, we pray and Lord commit each one
  14. 0:40that we would be alert to God in our
  15. 0:44spiritual man
  16. 0:46to bring every other
  17. 0:49Lord work, every work of the enemy,
  18. 0:53Lord, every thought and mentality and
  19. 0:55attitude that will rise up against the
  20. 0:58knowledge of Christ to the subjection of
  21. 1:02Christ,
  22. 1:03Lord, to the captivity of Christ.
  23. 1:07Father, help us.
  24. 1:09Lord, I also pray at this time for my
  25. 1:12brethren and myself,
  26. 1:15Lord. We confess our need for you to
  27. 1:20lower anction Lord and pour out your
  28. 1:23uncction and anointing upon us. Helping
  29. 1:26us God with every grace we need this
  30. 1:31morning to share what you have laid upon
  31. 1:34our hearts Lord.
  32. 1:36Father, we confess
  33. 1:38that we cannot Lord in our strength,
  34. 1:43in our ability, Lord, but we look up
  35. 1:47onto the spirit of God who is the
  36. 1:49custodian of all that the father has.
  37. 1:53Help us grant us the liberty of thy holy
  38. 1:57spirit. Once again, Lord, that we may
  39. 2:00not be limited and bound in any way,
  40. 2:03restricted in any way, Lord, but to
  41. 2:07share,
  42. 2:08Lord, that which you have laid upon our
  43. 2:10hearts and even those things that you
  44. 2:13will lay further upon our hearts, oh
  45. 2:15God.
  46. 2:17So we so much depend upon you. Holy
  47. 2:20Spirit, lead us and guide us and help us
  48. 2:24as we yield ourselves unto thee this
  49. 2:28morning.
  50. 2:30We thank you Lord for we have
  51. 2:32experienced your faithfulness.
  52. 2:36Continue to be with us. Continue to be
  53. 2:39in the midst of us.
  54. 2:41continue to speak thy word and cause us
  55. 2:46to hear thee. We bow down and worship
  56. 2:48you and bless you once again. And in
  57. 2:51Jesus most precious and matterless name
  58. 2:54we pray. Father, amen.
  59. 2:58We bless and thank the Lord
  60. 3:02for all that the Lord is speaking to us
  61. 3:05from his word. The Lord has been
  62. 3:09speaking to us about
  63. 3:12God's overcomers.
  64. 3:14God has been speaking to us about those
  65. 3:18who are called to the heights of Zion
  66. 3:21and so much about
  67. 3:24uh the aspect of Zion in our lives you
  68. 3:28know and whether it's Zion or the mat of
  69. 3:33the overcomers
  70. 3:35uh it would speak the same mind and
  71. 3:39thought of God for God's people
  72. 3:42>> a people who will be brought into that
  73. 3:44fullness
  74. 3:46uh in Christ Jesus.
  75. 3:48>> Now as the Lord has been speaking to us,
  76. 3:52the Lord also reminded us the greatest
  77. 3:56need of our spiritual seeing in our
  78. 3:59lives.
  79. 4:00>> We can go on listening to God's word as
  80. 4:03a subject, something uh as a theory and
  81. 4:07a doctrine and we can be happy about
  82. 4:10those things.
  83. 4:12[clears throat]
  84. 4:13But the Lord is not looking for
  85. 4:17uh people who have knowledge mentally
  86. 4:21about the Lord and his purpose.
  87. 4:25If we are to come into those things
  88. 4:28under which God has saved us, then
  89. 4:32[clears throat] we need our spiritual
  90. 4:34eyes to see those things. We heard many
  91. 4:37many councils from God and yet this
  92. 4:41remains to be the greatest need among
  93. 4:44God's people.
  94. 4:46>> So may God help us. I'm going to share a
  95. 4:49few thoughts on those lines again
  96. 4:51because I see that that's the greatest
  97. 4:53need amongst God's people, you know. So
  98. 4:57may God help us to be tuned to the Holy
  99. 5:00Spirit. Once again, [clears throat] we
  100. 5:02heard that head knowledge cannot save
  101. 5:04us. I've shared from my own life and
  102. 5:08experience
  103. 5:10>> and that was your experience as well.
  104. 5:14>> We need a heart knowledge.
  105. 5:17We need that enlightenment in our hearts
  106. 5:22in our spiritual men. We need light and
  107. 5:25understanding.
  108. 5:26Now we saw from the book of Revelation
  109. 5:28chapter 3 vers 15 to 18. I'm not going
  110. 5:32to read that. The condition of the
  111. 5:35Leodyian church, the loss of spiritual
  112. 5:39vision was the loss of supernatural
  113. 5:42feature of their life that produced the
  114. 5:46leodician
  115. 5:48state or condition among the people
  116. 5:51there. They lost the heavenlies. They
  117. 5:55lost the spiritual
  118. 5:58feature of their salvation.
  119. 6:01They became so caught up with the
  120. 6:03earthly than the heavenly.
  121. 6:06>> So caught up in the realm of the
  122. 6:08natural. Now may God help us to receive
  123. 6:12this word
  124. 6:14into our own lives.
  125. 6:16Allow the Holy Spirit to search us and
  126. 6:18help us where we are. You know they lost
  127. 6:23the supernatural feature. They lost the
  128. 6:26heavenlies in their lives. They were so
  129. 6:28much given and caught up with the soul
  130. 6:32life, the natural life, the earthliness
  131. 6:35of life.
  132. 6:37>> Yes. And in the midst of that, the Lord
  133. 6:41also gave a call for the overcomers.
  134. 6:45There was a corresponding rebound there
  135. 6:48by these words in the midst of God's
  136. 6:51people. a voice to the overcomers
  137. 6:56wherein the Lord said he that had an ear
  138. 6:58hear. So we need to realize this
  139. 7:04>> to lose spiritual vision is to lose the
  140. 7:06supernatural feature of our spiritual
  141. 7:10life and you know I have seen that in
  142. 7:13the midst of us
  143. 7:15people who have been sensitive and and
  144. 7:18given to the lord in their early days of
  145. 7:20their lives I don't know what's happened
  146. 7:22to them yes
  147. 7:25>> you know something has happened there
  148. 7:28their loss Not only the first love but
  149. 7:32we see them settling down for things
  150. 7:35other than the spiritual feature in
  151. 7:38their lives.
  152. 7:40>> Yes.
  153. 7:41>> And as we heard the Lord is offering to
  154. 7:45such ones if they are sensitive even at
  155. 7:48this state that he will grant them Isel.
  156. 7:53>> Yes.
  157. 7:54>> Yes. So this is the greatest need in
  158. 7:56this hour. Okay,
  159. 7:58>> this is a terrible need amongst God's
  160. 8:01people to come to that place of
  161. 8:04spiritual seeing and not presumption in
  162. 8:08our lives.
  163. 8:09>> Yes.
  164. 8:11You know, so
  165. 8:13we need this
  166. 8:16spiritual experience in our lives. Uh we
  167. 8:19heard some many things about the present
  168. 8:22you know condition among God's people.
  169. 8:25>> In the midst of that
  170. 8:28Saints of God, there's a great need in
  171. 8:31your life and my life
  172. 8:33that we come to that seeing that we may
  173. 8:37come into that realm and place that we
  174. 8:40may be a people unto the Lord in these
  175. 8:43end times.
  176. 8:45>> Yes.
  177. 8:46>> Yes.
  178. 8:47So it's not a matter of doctrine you
  179. 8:50know but it's a matter of light and
  180. 8:53understanding that changes our lives
  181. 8:58that changes our lives. You know we
  182. 9:01heard from the book of John chapter 9.
  183. 9:04You know this blind man
  184. 9:08who was healed by the Lord. He made a
  185. 9:11statement.
  186. 9:13He said whether he is a sinner I know
  187. 9:16not but one thing I know that whereas I
  188. 9:20was blind now I see.
  189. 9:23>> Yes.
  190. 9:25You know the greatest need today is not
  191. 9:27for men who have studied and readind
  192. 9:31>> and prepared
  193. 9:33but men who have seen God's great
  194. 9:37purpose and eternal purpose. Yes. Now
  195. 9:41that is God's greatest need today even
  196. 9:43in our midst. As I said, I wish that we
  197. 9:47all could be men who can say like this
  198. 9:49man, I was blind but now I see.
  199. 9:53>> Yes.
  200. 9:54>> You know, so this man who was blind, he
  201. 9:59said, I do not know many things, but I
  202. 10:01know one thing that now I see.
  203. 10:05>> Yes.
  204. 10:06You know as he said when you see there
  205. 10:09is an element of wonder.
  206. 10:12>> Yes there is an element of wonder
  207. 10:16because it's not from you it is a
  208. 10:19supernatural work as we heard. If
  209. 10:22blindness is supernatural
  210. 10:25then seeing is also supernatural.
  211. 10:30Opening of our eyes is also a
  212. 10:33supernatural work. Yes.
  213. 10:37And so we heard from the life of this
  214. 10:39man, you know, uh many ways they tried
  215. 10:43to press on him,
  216. 10:46>> but he stood the ground.
  217. 10:48>> Yes.
  218. 10:50And we heard even the life and example
  219. 10:53of the apostle Paul. You remember the
  220. 10:56Lord said unto him, I send ite to open
  221. 10:58their eyes
  222. 11:00>> that they may turn from darkness. They
  223. 11:03may turn them from darkness to light.
  224. 11:06>> Yes. And from power of Satan unto God.
  225. 11:10>> Yes. Remember as we heard,
  226. 11:13you know, this is the ministry God gave
  227. 11:16unto the Apostle Paul. But then again,
  228. 11:20you know, Paul was given the anointing.
  229. 11:25He preached that word. But remember that
  230. 11:28not everyone who heard him their eyes
  231. 11:31were open.
  232. 11:33>> There is a response from the hearers.
  233. 11:36>> You know in the the best ministry on the
  234. 11:39earth
  235. 11:40>> they can only be faithful to God in
  236. 11:44ministering and deliver and sharing what
  237. 11:47they have seen. You know he can only
  238. 11:50declare those things and the hearers
  239. 11:54will have to respond to that word and
  240. 11:59only then the opening of the eye would
  241. 12:02happen from the Lord. That is why we see
  242. 12:05the apostle praying for the church in
  243. 12:08Ephesus.
  244. 12:10So remember one thing, it's not
  245. 12:14something that will happen automatically
  246. 12:16in our midst,
  247. 12:18>> you know. So we see that you know God's
  248. 12:21word is coming
  249. 12:23but we all need to respond to that word
  250. 12:27and as we respond to that word there
  251. 12:31will be a work of God in your life and
  252. 12:35in my life.
  253. 12:37So it is not because we are part of the
  254. 12:41the church in Ephesus so it happens
  255. 12:43automatically
  256. 12:45you know it's not like that we are part
  257. 12:47of GSF
  258. 12:50>> we have a brother who is able to see
  259. 12:53or we have brothers who are able to see
  260. 12:56and because we are part of it
  261. 12:59we are able to see it's it it's a work
  262. 13:04of God in your life as Well, you know,
  263. 13:08so this is very very important. Saints
  264. 13:10of God,
  265. 13:12>> I just want to move on a little further
  266. 13:14today.
  267. 13:16As I said, what a great need we face
  268. 13:19today in this present time. You know,
  269. 13:22the need for men and women who can stand
  270. 13:27spiritually
  271. 13:29in that position in which the blind man
  272. 13:32stood.
  273. 13:33>> Listen carefully.
  274. 13:35The greatest need today is in our midst
  275. 13:40that we all could stand like this blind
  276. 13:43man who stood before the Jews.
  277. 13:46>> You know how many of us can really stand
  278. 13:49up that way
  279. 13:51just as this blind man stood in the
  280. 13:53midst of the Jews.
  281. 13:56He stood before them and he said,
  282. 13:59"I was blind. I was blind but now I see.
  283. 14:06>> Yes. And this one thing I know.
  284. 14:10And this one thing I know that I was
  285. 14:13blind but now I see.
  286. 14:17You know, you know, saints of God, it's
  287. 14:20a great thing to be in that place. It's
  288. 14:25a great thing to be in that place as
  289. 14:28this blind man was
  290. 14:31>> you know he says how much I do not know
  291. 14:36it's something I I have no idea how much
  292. 14:40I do not know I have no idea
  293. 14:43>> yes but you know the realm of unknown is
  294. 14:46so much but
  295. 14:50one thing I know one thing I do No,
  296. 14:54one thing I do see which was not the
  297. 14:58case in my life before. Are you with me?
  298. 15:02You know, and this is the greatest need.
  299. 15:05Yes. And saints of God. That was not the
  300. 15:09case in his life before. So there is an
  301. 15:13impact.
  302. 15:16There is a registration
  303. 15:19that comes to us as a result of our
  304. 15:23seeing. Yes,
  305. 15:27light, light and life always go
  306. 15:31together. That's what we see in God's
  307. 15:34word. Life and light
  308. 15:37always go together in the word of God.
  309. 15:41If a man really sees,
  310. 15:44>> yes, there is life in him, there is
  311. 15:47consistency in him, yes, there is
  312. 15:51something that is uplifting him. Yes,
  313. 15:56that's visible in that man's life.
  314. 15:59>> Yes. But if one man is sharing and
  315. 16:03saying something secondhand,
  316. 16:06it is something studied,
  317. 16:10something that just read,
  318. 16:12>> something that has been worked up.
  319. 16:15>> There is no life there. There is no real
  320. 16:18life there other than perhaps a
  321. 16:21temporary kind of encouragement, a false
  322. 16:24kind of interest in you, a passing
  323. 16:28fascination for some subject. But there
  324. 16:31will be no real life imparted to you.
  325. 16:35You know, and this is very important.
  326. 16:38You know, when we look around today,
  327. 16:40majority places, this is what is
  328. 16:43happening. And this can happen even in
  329. 16:46our midst.
  330. 16:48That's why we need enlightenment and
  331. 16:51seeing in our lives. As we have heard
  332. 16:55many times in the past,
  333. 16:58information produces information.
  334. 17:02You know, I can pass on information
  335. 17:06and you can get information.
  336. 17:09It produces information.
  337. 17:13But life produces life. Yes. So may God
  338. 17:17really help us saints of God that we are
  339. 17:20not here for accumulation of biblical
  340. 17:23knowledge on end times.
  341. 17:27>> But we are here to be a people unto God
  342. 17:30in these end times.
  343. 17:33Yes. So we do see this great need even
  344. 17:37today in our midst. Now listen
  345. 17:40carefully. want to go further on. We are
  346. 17:44not trying to change the truth. Yes, we
  347. 17:48are not trying to change the truth this
  348. 17:50way and that way. We are not pursuing
  349. 17:54new truths.
  350. 17:56Yes,
  351. 17:58but remember
  352. 18:00what we are here is for spiritual
  353. 18:04insight
  354. 18:06into the truth. Spiritual insight into
  355. 18:10the truth. We are looking for we are
  356. 18:13desiring for spiritual sight into the
  357. 18:16truth.
  358. 18:17>> Insight. Yes.
  359. 18:20But we are looking for spiritual insight
  360. 18:23to see what is in the truth.
  361. 18:27Yes.
  362. 18:28So we are after spiritual insight.
  363. 18:32>> We are looking for spiritual sight.
  364. 18:35>> That's what we are desiring.
  365. 18:38>> Yes. So it's not that we are trying to
  366. 18:40bring in new truth. I hope you
  367. 18:43understand what I'm trying to say. I'm
  368. 18:44struggling here. It's not a matter that
  369. 18:47we are trying to bring new truth.
  370. 18:50>> You understand what I'm saying? But our
  371. 18:52eyes may be open to see the truth which
  372. 18:55is already there.
  373. 18:57>> So we are seeking inside
  374. 19:00to that which is already there as truth.
  375. 19:04>> Yes. The truth is already there.
  376. 19:08We do not know.
  377. 19:10>> So we are seeking sight or insight.
  378. 19:15>> You know for as we read I hath not seen
  379. 19:19ear hath not heard nor even entered into
  380. 19:23the heart of man
  381. 19:25the things THAT GOD ALREADY PREPARED for
  382. 19:28us. Amen.
  383. 19:30The truth is already there.
  384. 19:34But what we need today is a revelation
  385. 19:38of that truth.
  386. 19:40Amen. Are you with me now? Are you able
  387. 19:44to understand? You have to tell one
  388. 19:45thing 10 times
  389. 19:48so that the blindness may go from us. SO
  390. 19:51WE SEE THAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR some
  391. 19:53new truth.
  392. 19:56The truth is already there.
  393. 19:58the things God has prepared already.
  394. 20:03>> But our eyes are to be now enlightened
  395. 20:06>> to see the TRUTH WHICH GOD ALREADY
  396. 20:09[laughter] HAS FOR US.
  397. 20:11>> As Paul says, now is being revealed unto
  398. 20:14us. Yes.
  399. 20:16So let's get that thing really clear in
  400. 20:19our hearts.
  401. 20:21Yes.
  402. 20:23So we are not looking for new
  403. 20:25revelation.
  404. 20:27We are not trying to dig into new truth
  405. 20:29in the word of God.
  406. 20:31>> BUT WHAT WE are endeavoring or what we
  407. 20:34are trying to say to us is we need
  408. 20:37insight. We need seeing of the truth
  409. 20:40which God has already prepared for us.
  410. 20:44>> Yes.
  411. 20:46So we are not looking for some extras,
  412. 20:50>> something you know uh new
  413. 20:53[clears throat]
  414. 20:54but what we are really seeking and
  415. 20:57praying is the Lord open our eyes to see
  416. 21:00what you have already prepared for your
  417. 21:03church.
  418. 21:05Saints, we need to realize
  419. 21:08there is a vast amount of truth in the
  420. 21:12word of God that we have never seen.
  421. 21:16God's desire is that we may see as we
  422. 21:19heard in the trur cam.
  423. 21:22You know Christ is such a storehouse.
  424. 21:25There is so much there we are yet to
  425. 21:28see.
  426. 21:29Yes, surely
  427. 21:32everybody agrees that
  428. 21:35Yes. But then there is no heart to
  429. 21:39pursue after that which God has made
  430. 21:43available. The greatest need is for us
  431. 21:47to have that longing and intense desire
  432. 21:51to see.
  433. 21:53>> The more you see, the more overwhelmed
  434. 21:57you feel in your own spiritual man.
  435. 22:00overwhelmed about all that God has
  436. 22:03prepared for his church because you
  437. 22:07begin to realize.
  438. 22:10You have only come to the borders of
  439. 22:12that vast land under which God has saved
  440. 22:16us. Yes. The land that flowth with milk
  441. 22:20and honey in the fullness of Christ
  442. 22:24under which God has saved us. Yes. So
  443. 22:27saints of God, may God help us that we
  444. 22:31would have that intense desire in us,
  445. 22:35>> you know, being just uh uh you know a
  446. 22:39Christian,
  447. 22:41>> just being a believer
  448. 22:44and just being religious
  449. 22:47will never bring us to this place. But
  450. 22:50there must be that longing and desire to
  451. 22:53see the things that God has prepared for
  452. 22:57his church before the foundations of
  453. 22:59this world.
  454. 23:00>> Yes.
  455. 23:02>> So let me share those things once again
  456. 23:07that every stage
  457. 23:10from our initiation to consummation
  458. 23:14spiritual life must have this secret in
  459. 23:18it. You know this secret of seeing as I
  460. 23:23said I am born again not with head
  461. 23:25knowledge
  462. 23:26>> but I was born again when it became a
  463. 23:29heart knowledge
  464. 23:31it became a light to my spiritual in a
  465. 23:34man. So as I said
  466. 23:38at every stage
  467. 23:41from initiation to consummation from the
  468. 23:44beginning spiritual life must have this
  469. 23:48secret in it and
  470. 23:52>> what is that secret?
  471. 23:54>> What's that secret?
  472. 23:56>> I see
  473. 23:58that element must be there in our lives.
  474. 24:02>> Yes. When it comes to baptism,
  475. 24:05it's not because everybody is taking
  476. 24:07baptism. I'm still going to Sunday
  477. 24:09school. I'm old enough now to take
  478. 24:12baptism.
  479. 24:14I to get to college now. I need a
  480. 24:17certificate.
  481. 24:19I need baptism.
  482. 24:21Or if you are in northeast, I'm going to
  483. 24:24Delhi for further studies. So, baptize
  484. 24:26me before I go. I mean, there are a lot
  485. 24:30of reasons why people get baptized.
  486. 24:32But why do you want to be baptized? Is
  487. 24:36it that you see that to be a foundation
  488. 24:41where you are to be identified with his
  489. 24:43death and burial and resurrection
  490. 24:46as an act from your life? You know an
  491. 24:50act of yours. You know wherein you go
  492. 24:53into the water,
  493. 24:56identify with his burial, death and
  494. 24:59burial and and raised up to life again
  495. 25:04as Christ
  496. 25:05resurrected from the dead,
  497. 25:08you know. So we see that when you see,
  498. 25:12you know, then you need to be baptized.
  499. 25:15Even so the Holy Spirit baptism you know
  500. 25:19I see that everything has to be a matter
  501. 25:22of seeing in our lives.
  502. 25:25Yes.
  503. 25:26You know right at the commencement or
  504. 25:28beginning
  505. 25:30when we were born again
  506. 25:33as I said there should be that
  507. 25:35spontaneous expression and the reaction
  508. 25:39in your life. Did you experience that
  509. 25:41when you were born again?
  510. 25:44Did you have that? Yes or no? If you did
  511. 25:48not have, then you have to think about
  512. 25:49whether you are born again or not.
  513. 25:52You see, when you receive Christ,
  514. 25:55>> I remember my my children when they were
  515. 25:58small, they were in the Sunday school,
  516. 25:59they received the Lord, they were
  517. 26:02bubbling with joy. They came to me,
  518. 26:04Daddy, I received Christ into my life.
  519. 26:06Great. You know, there is a spontaneous
  520. 26:10reaction within you. Yes or no?
  521. 26:14Yes or no? Or you are long
  522. 26:18very long-faced man. Or you were having
  523. 26:21the joy. It's reality. WHEN YOU RECEIVE
  524. 26:25CHRIST, THERE WAS A IMMEDIATE reaction
  525. 26:27within you or I don't know why I
  526. 26:30received Christ into my life. Is that
  527. 26:33the question you had? If you had that
  528. 26:35question, I'd have to take you aside and
  529. 26:38talk to you today. When you were
  530. 26:40baptized, did you say I don't know why I
  531. 26:42took baptism? Is there anyone like that?
  532. 26:45You need to be baptized again. Do you
  533. 26:48understand what I'm trying to say to you
  534. 26:50saints of God? This is very important.
  535. 26:54You know, there is a spontaneous
  536. 26:56expression you come into in your life.
  537. 27:00>> Yes, there is a reaction
  538. 27:03when you came into that experience.
  539. 27:06That element of surprise, that element
  540. 27:09of wonder you experience in your life.
  541. 27:13Yes. And our life ought to begin there.
  542. 27:18And not ONLY BEGIN THERE, BUT OUR life
  543. 27:21would should continue in that realm. It
  544. 27:25has to be all the way along
  545. 27:29till the final consummation.
  546. 27:32It must be that saints of God. The
  547. 27:35working out of this miracle,
  548. 27:39the working out of this wonder.
  549. 27:42Yes, we must experience. They are to be
  550. 27:46maintained.
  551. 27:48It has to be maintained in the realm of
  552. 27:50this wonder.
  553. 27:53>> This element of wonder. The wonder h
  554. 27:56aspect or the factor must be repeated.
  555. 28:01Yes.
  556. 28:02>> Again and again.
  557. 28:05>> Amen. So every occasion
  558. 28:09when God opens your eyes, you experience
  559. 28:13this element of wonder, there is a
  560. 28:16reaction in your inner man. What is the
  561. 28:19reaction?
  562. 28:21I had never seen this before.
  563. 28:24Not as a mental knowledge
  564. 28:27but as a spiritual sight in our lives.
  565. 28:30But but saints of God the tragedy is in
  566. 28:35many lives it has not been progressive.
  567. 28:40It began it they had this experience in
  568. 28:44the beginning then it became a pattern
  569. 28:48of life. It became a a a a type or a
  570. 28:52pattern of life an outward thing that we
  571. 28:56pursue after.
  572. 28:58Saints, that's that's where we see the
  573. 29:02leodician condition coming IN BECAUSE WE
  574. 29:05LOST THAT element of wondering.
  575. 29:08It's no more an act of the spirit.
  576. 29:12>> It's more an intellectual accumulation
  577. 29:14of the biblical truth
  578. 29:17since it cannot be that way.
  579. 29:21BUT IT'S SAD. THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY
  580. 29:23TODAY, IF YOU LOOK AT EVEN THE BELIEVING
  581. 29:25CHURCHES,
  582. 29:27much of all that that goes on today is
  583. 29:30all of intellect or tradition or
  584. 29:34theology or doctrine.
  585. 29:36>> Yes. Oh, may God help us.
  586. 29:39>> And that's why the Lord brought this
  587. 29:42burden.
  588. 29:43You know, we must seek the Lord for
  589. 29:46Isael.
  590. 29:48Let's not be in presemption.
  591. 29:51>> Let's not be in presemption.
  592. 29:54>> If our eyes are open to see the body of
  593. 29:57Christ, giving you an example, you know,
  594. 30:01if your eyes have been open to see the
  595. 30:03body of Christ, see the body of Christ.
  596. 30:06Yes, correct.
  597. 30:09Your eyes are open.
  598. 30:11>> Then that life is different. And I see
  599. 30:15that in many of us our eyes have not
  600. 30:18been able to see what is the true body
  601. 30:21of Christ.
  602. 30:22>> You know as I said this pathetic
  603. 30:25condition in our lives you know coming
  604. 30:28on Sunday giving out tithes and
  605. 30:31offerings
  606. 30:32having worship attending the Bible
  607. 30:35studies that doesn't mean that your eyes
  608. 30:37have been open to see the body of
  609. 30:39Christ.
  610. 30:41It goes much more beyond that.
  611. 30:44Oh may God help us. I'm not here to
  612. 30:47explain about the body of Christ today.
  613. 30:48There's no time for that.
  614. 30:51But we have shared it many times in the
  615. 30:53past. You know as I said I have shared
  616. 30:55this many times before
  617. 30:58you know when you meet a person
  618. 31:02as you talk to that person
  619. 31:05you know you realize oh this person
  620. 31:07knows the Lord. It looks like yes or no.
  621. 31:10Have you experienced that when you talk
  622. 31:12to somebody
  623. 31:14>> then you though that person didn't tell
  624. 31:16you he neither you asked him
  625. 31:18>> you you you felt that oh this person
  626. 31:20he's he knows the lord even so it is
  627. 31:24when you talk to a person
  628. 31:27if his eyes or her eyes are open about
  629. 31:29the body of Christ YOU WILL GET TO KNOW
  630. 31:31EVEN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT YOU DON'T HAVE
  631. 31:34TO ASK that person
  632. 31:37yeah
  633. 31:39you know you come to realize that person
  634. 31:42knows what is the body of Christ in some
  635. 31:45measure. How how do you feel that
  636. 31:49he or she did not say that?
  637. 31:52>> From the lifestyle. Yes or no? From the
  638. 31:57life. You understand somebody is born
  639. 32:00again or not? By from the lifestyle.
  640. 32:03>> Yes.
  641. 32:05Even so it is with us if our eyes are
  642. 32:08open to see what is the body of Christ.
  643. 32:10It's seen in our lifestyle
  644. 32:13>> the way we are we do things all right I
  645. 32:18just gave you one example there are a
  646. 32:19lot of examples like that or so may God
  647. 32:23help us as I said there is an element of
  648. 32:26wonder in every light that God brings to
  649. 32:29us by the spirit. Yes. One important
  650. 32:33thing is when a new work breaks forth in
  651. 32:38our lives by the spirit of God,
  652. 32:42>> we need to realize WHEN A FRESH work of
  653. 32:46the spirit breaks forth in our life,
  654. 32:49>> remember always
  655. 32:51>> it removes
  656. 32:54it demolishes
  657. 32:56what is there which is not according to
  658. 32:59God's light. demolishing all that has
  659. 33:03been there before.
  660. 33:05>> Yes. Listen carefully. There is no
  661. 33:09coexistence of the old and the new.
  662. 33:13>> Amen.
  663. 33:15>> Yeah. Now, that's where we see the
  664. 33:17difference.
  665. 33:19In many lives, we can see both things
  666. 33:22existing.
  667. 33:24Oh, Zion is also there. Other things are
  668. 33:27also there. What's wrong in that?
  669. 33:30They're also good people. They're also
  670. 33:33saying the same thing. You know, we see
  671. 33:35the coexistence of things.
  672. 33:39Remember,
  673. 33:40when the light comes in,
  674. 33:43when the understanding comes in, when
  675. 33:46this wonder works within you,
  676. 33:50it removes and demolishes what exists
  677. 33:53there contrary to that light.
  678. 33:56>> Yes.
  679. 33:58Now when there are two things existing
  680. 34:00in us, I want to tell you
  681. 34:04there's no real light there. The real
  682. 34:06light and understanding demolishes
  683. 34:10that which is contrary to the light
  684. 34:13existing there.
  685. 34:14>> Yes. Yes. So it seems that
  686. 34:19the Lord has to make this very very
  687. 34:22clear to us. Yes. You know many a time
  688. 34:26we see things still existing
  689. 34:30when we embrace the truth from God's
  690. 34:33word. Yes. Remember the power of light
  691. 34:38is to demolish darkness. Yes.
  692. 34:42It removes that darkness.
  693. 34:46It removes that which is not according
  694. 34:48to God's light and the Holy Spirit. You
  695. 34:51know I want to tell you one thing. When
  696. 34:54the Lord opened my eyes to see certain
  697. 34:57things, you know, it was so clear, you
  698. 35:00know, it's not that I knew everything
  699. 35:02about it,
  700. 35:04but I know it demolished things one by
  701. 35:07one in my life. And God gave me the
  702. 35:10grace and the courage TO TAKE STEPS IN
  703. 35:13THAT DIRECTION. And that brought about,
  704. 35:16you know, all kinds of problem in the
  705. 35:18local church. Though we were small in
  706. 35:20number, it demolishes
  707. 35:23I want to tell you that's the power of
  708. 35:25truth working in your life and mine.
  709. 35:29>> There can be no coexistence
  710. 35:32of two things there. If you're allowing
  711. 35:35it simply means it's not light but
  712. 35:38acceptance of it. Yes.
  713. 35:42>> Yes.
  714. 35:43>> It's not light yet.
  715. 35:45>> Yes.
  716. 35:47So saints when when we see these things
  717. 35:52you know it if you're really desiring
  718. 35:54and hungry for God you know you will be
  719. 35:58brought you and I will be brought to a
  720. 36:00place where will we cry Lord unless you
  721. 36:04do this I have no other way
  722. 36:08>> Lord unless you will open there is no
  723. 36:11way I can see Lord yes unless you will
  724. 36:15help me to see. There is no way I can
  725. 36:18ever see. There is no other way.
  726. 36:22Saints of God.
  727. 36:24Thus he leads us.
  728. 36:26>> That is how when I come to that place,
  729. 36:30Lord, unless you help me to see, there
  730. 36:33is no way I can see. I want to tell you,
  731. 36:37then God begins to work.
  732. 36:40You know what he does?
  733. 36:42He would bring you and me to
  734. 36:44circumstances and situation. That is the
  735. 36:46Lord's way to keep us moving on.
  736. 36:51God brings in situations and
  737. 36:54circumstances.
  738. 36:55You know, remember that it is to take
  739. 36:59you on in the Lord. You are somehow
  740. 37:02settling down in some things.
  741. 37:06You always have reasons.
  742. 37:09>> You can always put the blame on someone.
  743. 37:12You can can blame this situation and
  744. 37:14that situation,
  745. 37:16this and that and that man and this man.
  746. 37:20>> But saints of God, we need to realize
  747. 37:23God wants to keep us move on in the
  748. 37:27Lord.
  749. 37:28>> Yes, you know it's there. We must seek
  750. 37:31the Lord. Yes, Lord.
  751. 37:35Lord, I know that you alone can help me
  752. 37:38to see. Yes.
  753. 37:42God will press and press
  754. 37:46and bring us to a place where we will be
  755. 37:50ready to receive something from the
  756. 37:52Lord. It's not that he will do anything
  757. 37:56to destroy us, but he will press us to
  758. 38:01move forward, to go on, to move further,
  759. 38:06to keep us going on.
  760. 38:10Yes.
  761. 38:11So God allows situations to come into
  762. 38:14our lives
  763. 38:15>> to bring us to those experiences.
  764. 38:19>> We are not to sit in self-pity in those
  765. 38:22moments. Be careful.
  766. 38:24Be careful. You know, we compare
  767. 38:27ourselves with others.
  768. 38:29We think about other people.
  769. 38:32Don't do that mistake. Be sensitive to
  770. 38:35God. God wants me to move further.
  771. 38:40He doesn't want to me be just settling
  772. 38:42and be happy about things. God wants to
  773. 38:46bring me to those experience where it is
  774. 38:49absolutely necessary
  775. 38:51that we must behold the Lord now. Yes.
  776. 38:56And behold this Lord in a new way. Yes.
  777. 39:00Many a time we are tired of seeing the
  778. 39:03Lord in the same way. Some people are
  779. 39:05tired. Okay. because he looks the same.
  780. 39:09But I want to tell you when your eyes
  781. 39:11are being opened,
  782. 39:14you behold in new ways.
  783. 39:17You behold him in new light, new
  784. 39:20understanding.
  785. 39:22You know that's a tremendous thing that
  786. 39:25you do not come into to him in
  787. 39:28familiarity in any way. Yes, we come to
  788. 39:32him in in a new way. Behold him in a new
  789. 39:36way.
  790. 39:37Yes. So that's the way we need to move
  791. 39:41on to the end in our lives.
  792. 39:44>> Yes. So I would like to say that there
  793. 39:46will be a series of situations.
  794. 39:49And God allows those things in our lives
  795. 39:53that if we may be brought to a place of
  796. 39:55seeing him again and again and again
  797. 39:58that the Lord would open our eyes of
  798. 40:00understanding
  799. 40:03that we are able to say
  800. 40:06as never before we are able to see now I
  801. 40:10see
  802. 40:12>> Lord now I see.
  803. 40:15So it is not a matter of our study or
  804. 40:18our learning,
  805. 40:21our book knowledge,
  806. 40:23but it's the spirit of wisdom and
  807. 40:27revelation
  808. 40:29in the knowledge of him. The eyes of our
  809. 40:32understanding, our hearts being
  810. 40:34enlightened.
  811. 40:36>> Yes. And it is that seeing
  812. 40:40>> that brings about true authority in our
  813. 40:43lives. Listen carefully.
  814. 40:46Yeah. It is this seeing
  815. 40:49that brings about that authority in our
  816. 40:53life. That authority is so much needed
  817. 40:55in our lives. Yes, that is the element
  818. 40:59that is missing today. You know this
  819. 41:02man, this this man he stood before and
  820. 41:06he said many things I don't know but
  821. 41:10this one thing I know. I was blind but
  822. 41:14now I see what authority
  823. 41:16>> what authority that had.
  824. 41:18>> So that element of that that wonder
  825. 41:23is the requirement today in our lives.
  826. 41:26You know that's where authority comes.
  827. 41:30>> It is not seeing for the sake of seeing.
  828. 41:33>> Yes. You know that's where many a time
  829. 41:36people are found. People are found just
  830. 41:39seeing for the sake of seeing. That is
  831. 41:42not a act of the spirit of God in our
  832. 41:45lives. But the work of the spirit has
  833. 41:49always that element of wonder
  834. 41:52that immediate experience.
  835. 41:56>> Yes.
  836. 41:57>> You know when we look around today
  837. 42:00where is the voice of authority today?
  838. 42:04Where is the voice of authority today?
  839. 42:07Where are those who are really
  840. 42:10speaking with authority?
  841. 42:13Very very less saints of God.
  842. 42:16There are thundering voices because of
  843. 42:19the PA system, sound system.
  844. 42:22But people who speak with authority, the
  845. 42:26languishing
  846. 42:28uh uh terrible need of the hour today,
  847. 42:33>> you know, is for a voice of authority.
  848. 42:36The church is languishing
  849. 42:39for one of a voice of spiritual
  850. 42:42authority today. A prophetic note and a
  851. 42:46provery voice
  852. 42:48that's able to uh bring forth the mind
  853. 42:50of God and speak with authority.
  854. 42:55You know the church is languishing for
  855. 42:57that in this present time. The world is
  856. 43:01languishing for the true voice of God in
  857. 43:04this time.
  858. 43:06The world. The world.
  859. 43:11>> The world is languishing.
  860. 43:13>> Yes. For the true voice of God.
  861. 43:17>> Yes. You know there is far more
  862. 43:20authority in the man who has seen. There
  863. 43:24is far more authority in the man who has
  864. 43:26seen. As I said, look at the testimony
  865. 43:30of this blind man. Look at the authority
  866. 43:33that he had.
  867. 43:35One thing I know
  868. 43:37>> that whereas I was blind,
  869. 43:40>> but now I see. What an authority. Look
  870. 43:44at Israel at that time.
  871. 43:47You could never see anyone with that
  872. 43:50authority in all Israel. In all is
  873. 43:53Israel's tradition and learning.
  874. 43:56>> Yes. That's why Jesus said about Jesus
  875. 44:00it was said
  876. 44:03you know when people heard
  877. 44:06we read in Matthew chapter 7 Matthew
  878. 44:09chapter 7 if you are only writing
  879. 44:12references is the first reference
  880. 44:15your page will be blank
  881. 44:17all right I thought I'll give you at
  882. 44:20least one reference
  883. 44:22Matthew chapter 7 Matthew chapter 7 and
  884. 44:27Verse
  885. 44:2929, you know, verse 28 and 29. And it
  886. 44:32came to pass when Jesus had ended these
  887. 44:36sayings, the people were astonished at
  888. 44:40his doctrine.
  889. 44:41>> Yes.
  890. 44:42>> For he taught them as one having
  891. 44:45authority and not as the scribes.
  892. 44:49>> Yes.
  893. 44:50You know it says again for he taught
  894. 44:53them as one having authority not as the
  895. 44:58scribes.
  896. 44:59>> Yes. You know in the days of Jesus
  897. 45:02Christ the scribes were the authorities
  898. 45:08>> of the word of God. They were the ones
  899. 45:11who wrote the scriptures. There was no
  900. 45:13printing press in those days. They wrote
  901. 45:16it. The scribes wrote and they were the
  902. 45:20ones well-versed there in the word. So
  903. 45:24the scribes were the authorities.
  904. 45:27If anybody wanted
  905. 45:29an interpretation of the law,
  906. 45:32they went to the scribes. They were the
  907. 45:35learned in the scriptures. If they
  908. 45:37wanted to know what the authoritative
  909. 45:41position of certain teaching
  910. 45:47Yeah. Then they went to them.
  911. 45:50>> Yes. So that they will tell them.
  912. 45:53>> Yes. They went to the scribes
  913. 45:56to understand the authoritative position
  914. 45:59of that particular chapter or what the
  915. 46:01prophet said.
  916. 46:03>> Yes.
  917. 46:04>> Yes. So they always went to the scribes.
  918. 46:07So Jesus when he spoke when the people
  919. 46:11heard the Lord Jesus
  920. 46:14the people said the people who always
  921. 46:17went to the scribes
  922. 46:20they said like this one he spoke as one
  923. 46:23having authority and not as the scribes
  924. 46:27>> as one. Now that's very important.
  925. 46:30Wherein lies the true authority. Yes.
  926. 46:35The true authority lies in seeing. Jesus
  927. 46:39said, "What I see my father do." Amen.
  928. 46:43>> Yes or no? That I do. WHAT I HEAR MY
  929. 46:48FATHER SAY THAT I SPEAK.
  930. 46:50>> You know the authority that Jesus had
  931. 46:55came from this
  932. 46:58And when he spoke,
  933. 47:00>> he spoke with authority.
  934. 47:04Not like the scribes.
  935. 47:07>> Now this we can see even today.
  936. 47:10There are a lot of scribes today all
  937. 47:13over you know all they are able to say
  938. 47:17many things.
  939. 47:19They can say
  940. 47:19>> they can say I know many things and much
  941. 47:23of all that they say is what they read
  942. 47:25and they have been told what they have
  943. 47:28studied.
  944. 47:30So that's what they said. This is what
  945. 47:31we studied in the seminary. This is what
  946. 47:33we studied in the Bible college. This is
  947. 47:35what our tradition say. This is what
  948. 47:37this tradition and that this is what the
  949. 47:39evangelical tradition. There's the
  950. 47:40Pentecostal tradition. This is THAT
  951. 47:42TRADITION. IT'S ALL TRADITION.
  952. 47:45What we have been taught.
  953. 47:48Yes,
  954. 47:49>> saints of God. But Jesus when he spoke,
  955. 47:53look at the quality of the disciples.
  956. 47:56Unlearned men.
  957. 47:58Yes or no? That was the testimony they
  958. 48:01had. Unlearned men,
  959. 48:04>> but they are shaking every place,
  960. 48:07saints of God, because they spoke with
  961. 48:10authority.
  962. 48:12Because they had seen heavenly things.
  963. 48:16>> I want to tell you saints, that's a
  964. 48:18defense.
  965. 48:19>> Now don't take it objectively.
  966. 48:22Now that is our greatest mistake. You
  967. 48:24know one thing, we have a physical mind.
  968. 48:27Oh sorry my specs I should we have a
  969. 48:29physical mind when we talk about the
  970. 48:32throne of God we think about a big place
  971. 48:36>> you know four and 20 elders and you know
  972. 48:39all these uh bees around we think about
  973. 48:43that
  974. 48:44>> you know we HAVE A PHYSICAL MIND IT
  975. 48:47ALWAYS GOES PHYSICAL HEAVEN OH UP
  976. 48:50>> POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES IN HEAVENLY
  977. 48:52PLACES OH GOODNESS there
  978. 48:55I'll come to that in a few moment Romans
  979. 48:57listen carefully.
  980. 48:59>> Now we have a physical mind. So every
  981. 49:02TIME THE SCRIPTURE COMES WE PHYSICALLY
  982. 49:04THINK ABOUT IT.
  983. 49:06WE MUST be delivered from that.
  984. 49:10>> WE MUST LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF THE spirit
  985. 49:13and the the things which the holy spirit
  986. 49:16will reveal to us.
  987. 49:19>> Yes.
  988. 49:20>> Correct.
  989. 49:22>> You know we have a physical mind.
  990. 49:24Remember we and you know today many
  991. 49:27preachers therefore made everything so
  992. 49:30physical
  993. 49:32heaven you know and golden street
  994. 49:37mentions which room you want
  995. 49:41it it's so sad what preachers have made
  996. 49:44things out of their own imagination
  997. 49:47saints of God be delivered in your own
  998. 49:50life rather than talking about where are
  999. 49:53you amen
  1000. 49:55May God help us.
  1001. 49:57>> God is inviting us to before be before
  1002. 50:01the throne.
  1003. 50:03>> Amen. Don't think about joining the four
  1004. 50:06and 20 elders sometime in the future.
  1005. 50:08Join now.
  1006. 50:11[laughter]
  1007. 50:12>> Those who stood around the throne with
  1008. 50:14the face of a man IS YOU. THE FACE OF an
  1009. 50:17ox IS YOURSELF.
  1010. 50:20THE FLYING EAGLE IS YOURSELF.
  1011. 50:23AMEN. You know this is a problem with
  1012. 50:26us. We are PUT IT ALL FOR THE FUTURE
  1013. 50:28SOMETIME SOMEWHERE.
  1014. 50:31But realize saints of God
  1015. 50:34>> that will change your worship.
  1016. 50:37>> You will not sit in a chair as a bag of
  1017. 50:40potato and move sometimes. And there are
  1018. 50:44some who do not move at all. Did I
  1019. 50:46break? THERE'S SOME WHO DO NOT. I FEEL
  1020. 50:49SAD FOR SOME OF MY sisters here. I feel
  1021. 50:52sad for some of my brothers there. Only
  1022. 50:54lips are moving.
  1023. 50:57No emotion.
  1024. 50:59What are you doing here? What are you
  1025. 51:01doing here? You have come to worship the
  1026. 51:04Lord.
  1027. 51:05>> REMEMBER, HE IS NOT A dead god.
  1028. 51:08He
  1029. 51:08>> is a living God. This is not a funeral
  1030. 51:12service.
  1031. 51:13This is a place of celebration.
  1032. 51:16CELEBRATION OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
  1033. 51:19CELEBRATION OF HIS FAITHFULNESS,
  1034. 51:22CELEBRATION OF HIS MERCIES,
  1035. 51:24CELEBRATION OF HIS SACRIFICE.
  1036. 51:27So what are you doing here? You come to
  1037. 51:30bury the Lord again.
  1038. 51:32Come on. He is RESURRECTED CHRIST. HE'S
  1039. 51:35A GLORIOUS ONE.
  1040. 51:38Be delivered from the past life of
  1041. 51:40yours. Did I change my subject? No, I'm
  1042. 51:44still in the subject. Saints of God, we
  1043. 51:47need to be overcomers.
  1044. 51:50>> We need to learn the way of the spirit
  1045. 51:52in our lives. So we see the man who has
  1046. 51:57seen had an authority in the days of
  1047. 52:00Jesus.
  1048. 52:02All these people had authority
  1049. 52:06which was not real authority from God.
  1050. 52:10They had the authority of the system.
  1051. 52:14They had the authority of the system.
  1052. 52:17I am pastor. Do you understand? I am the
  1053. 52:20pastor. I am the senior pastor of this
  1054. 52:23church positional.
  1055. 52:26No use. A position may have an
  1056. 52:29authority, but that authority is of no
  1057. 52:31use.
  1058. 52:33But if you have the anointing, you have
  1059. 52:35an authority. That's different.
  1060. 52:39>> Hallelujah.
  1061. 52:41>> Hallelujah. May God help us. God's true
  1062. 52:44body functions LIKE THAT.
  1063. 52:47IT'S NOT IN THE STAMP AND IN THE
  1064. 52:49DESIGNATION IN THE POSITION. NO, IT IS
  1065. 52:53in the anointing
  1066. 52:56in what you see.
  1067. 52:59That's where authority lies, saints of
  1068. 53:02God.
  1069. 53:03>> Amen. Are you with us? Oh, may God help
  1070. 53:07us.
  1071. 53:08So it's not the designation, it's not
  1072. 53:11THE POSITION. IN ISRAEL, WE HAD THE
  1073. 53:13SADDUCEES had their place.
  1074. 53:16The scribes had their place. The
  1075. 53:19Pharisees had their place, the priest
  1076. 53:21had their place. And do you don't you
  1077. 53:24think they all had their authority?
  1078. 53:27>> They all had their authority. That the
  1079. 53:29authority of the system, but Jesus had
  1080. 53:32the authority of the father. Amen. Amen.
  1081. 53:38That's important saints. Hallelujah.
  1082. 53:40Amen. Do you see your calling there?
  1083. 53:44>> To be men and women of authority.
  1084. 53:48Not that we can go around and talking a
  1085. 53:49lot of things, but we are men and women
  1086. 53:52of authority because we
  1087. 53:55have the light and understanding.
  1088. 53:58Oh may God help us. So I want to tell
  1089. 54:00you we cannot belittle this greatest
  1090. 54:03need in our lives.
  1091. 54:06We cannot minimize the sins of God. Our
  1092. 54:10eyes must be really open to see this
  1093. 54:14calling in our lives. You know now
  1094. 54:17sometimes people ask me brother but how
  1095. 54:19do I see? I want to bring us to
  1096. 54:21something you know further.
  1097. 54:24I don't know we will go on to the eagle
  1098. 54:26saints. I don't know but I think this is
  1099. 54:30going to really help us you know to
  1100. 54:32understand those things.
  1101. 54:35Now you know people asked me this you
  1102. 54:37know even on Tuesday when I had a time
  1103. 54:39with a brethren you know they asked me
  1104. 54:41brother but how how IS THAT GOING TO
  1105. 54:42HAPPEN? You're saying it's not crying,
  1106. 54:44it's not praying, it's how is it going
  1107. 54:46to really happen?
  1108. 54:49>> You know, as we said, God brings us to
  1109. 54:51circumstances,
  1110. 54:52situations. Yes. But how is that going
  1111. 54:56to happen? Listen carefully. I shared
  1112. 54:58some of these things on Wednesday, but
  1113. 55:00I'm going to share that again with us
  1114. 55:01today. So listen carefully and not do
  1115. 55:04note it down as a principle
  1116. 55:08>> and thinking that that principle will
  1117. 55:10bring you there. No, it's a process.
  1118. 55:13Okay. Now, you know, when you hear God's
  1119. 55:17word, as we heard, Paul was given the
  1120. 55:20anointing to preach that which he had
  1121. 55:23seen. Yes.
  1122. 55:26You know, it's he says that that which
  1123. 55:29was revealed unto me, I sh I speak unto
  1124. 55:33you. It pleased God to reveal his son in
  1125. 55:36me that I may preach him unto you.
  1126. 55:42SO WHAT PAUL PREACHED was what he saw.
  1127. 55:45You know, so you know, even in our
  1128. 55:47lives, even today morning, if you are
  1129. 55:50hearing something from God,
  1130. 55:54>> the Holy Spirit
  1131. 55:56will bring into your heart rays of
  1132. 55:59light, a little illumination,
  1133. 56:04a little light,
  1134. 56:06rays of light,
  1135. 56:09some light,
  1136. 56:11you know, which will cause you to move
  1137. 56:14to the next step. Even when you read
  1138. 56:20this can happen. You may receive a
  1139. 56:22light, a little ray of light, a little
  1140. 56:27illumination.
  1141. 56:29Now that illumination
  1142. 56:32will work in you as an inspiration,
  1143. 56:37you know, and this is very true in my
  1144. 56:40own life.
  1145. 56:42It works in you an inspiration.
  1146. 56:46Remember, if it's a light that you have
  1147. 56:48received,
  1148. 56:49a ray of light,
  1149. 56:52it will cause you to experience
  1150. 56:55inspiration, a work of inspiration by
  1151. 56:58the same spirit. Yes,
  1152. 57:02you will experience the work of
  1153. 57:04inspiration by the same spirit that gave
  1154. 57:08you that that little light.
  1155. 57:11Yes.
  1156. 57:13>> Now what when you get inspired,
  1157. 57:17>> you know what you will do? You will
  1158. 57:19spend time with the Lord.
  1159. 57:21Amen.
  1160. 57:23You know and that is true. I can say
  1161. 57:25that in my own life. That inspiration
  1162. 57:29brings you to the word. You know Lord I
  1163. 57:32I I I want to go to the word of God.
  1164. 57:35I remember
  1165. 57:37you know how I long for such time to sit
  1166. 57:40with the word
  1167. 57:42>> because there is something the Lord
  1168. 57:45spoke to me in the fasting prayer
  1169. 57:48or some other time. So I go back
  1170. 57:52>> I seek the Lord Lord I want to hear you.
  1171. 57:56I want to understand what you have for
  1172. 57:58me. So when that inspiration takes place
  1173. 58:03within us
  1174. 58:05That brings you to a place of spending
  1175. 58:07time with the word with the Lord. You
  1176. 58:11know, when you begin to read through the
  1177. 58:13word again,
  1178. 58:15meditate and reflect upon God's word,
  1179. 58:19it brings you to a place of revelation.
  1180. 58:23Hallelujah. It brings you to a place of
  1181. 58:26seeing,
  1182. 58:28seeing him
  1183. 58:30and his present word, his purpose.
  1184. 58:34You know this is real saints of God.
  1185. 58:37That's where you begin to see the
  1186. 58:40element of wonder in your life. Oh God I
  1187. 58:43couldn't see it before.
  1188. 58:46Now I am able to see it.
  1189. 58:49>> You know you come to that revelation and
  1190. 58:53that understanding by the spirit. You
  1191. 58:56know that true light and seeing
  1192. 59:01or that revelation
  1193. 59:03then brings you to a place of
  1194. 59:05realization.
  1195. 59:07You know what is that realization? You
  1196. 59:10come to a place of a settled position in
  1197. 59:14your self about that truth.
  1198. 59:16>> You know settled.
  1199. 59:21Yes. And as we heard it demolishes the
  1200. 59:25darkness, the past THINGS THERE. THE
  1201. 59:28PAST THINGS ARE REMOVED NOW.
  1202. 59:32You come to a subtle position and a
  1203. 59:34place about that truth.
  1204. 59:37Yes.
  1205. 59:39You know, and you are so sure.
  1206. 59:43Hallelujah. AMEN. THERE'S NO MORE
  1207. 59:45double-mindedness about it. AS PAUL
  1208. 59:48SAID, HOW CAN I BE disobedient to this
  1209. 59:50heavenly vision?
  1210. 59:52YOU ARE SO SURE ABOUT IT. No two minds
  1211. 59:56about it anymore.
  1212. 59:58>> You come to So realization
  1213. 1:00:01is only possible where there is a
  1214. 1:00:03revelation.
  1215. 1:00:05>> Yes.
  1216. 1:00:06You know these are things we really
  1217. 1:00:08lack. Now what happens with many of us
  1218. 1:00:12is we come to the place of little light.
  1219. 1:00:17When you hear, when you read, we come to
  1220. 1:00:21place of little light
  1221. 1:00:24and we are very happy. We pray, we we
  1222. 1:00:29are moved by those things and just as we
  1223. 1:00:32close the Bible, we close everything is
  1224. 1:00:34inside of us. Everything is over. Then
  1225. 1:00:37we remember on Tuesday
  1226. 1:00:47Bible study
  1227. 1:00:54next Sunday.
  1228. 1:00:56Listen carefully my brothers and sisters
  1229. 1:00:59that will not bring you to light. I can
  1230. 1:01:02write it and give to you. You can frame
  1231. 1:01:04it and keep it. You know you will never
  1232. 1:01:07come to revelation.
  1233. 1:01:11>> It's a process.
  1234. 1:01:13It's not cut and paste. It will not fall
  1235. 1:01:16into your lap in any gathering.
  1236. 1:01:20>> Even if you feel and move the spirit,
  1237. 1:01:23that is not the end. That's a beginning.
  1238. 1:01:26Hallelujah. Amen. We must come to that
  1239. 1:01:29process. We must be available to God.
  1240. 1:01:32God may engineer circumstances during
  1241. 1:01:34that time, bring you to that place to
  1242. 1:01:38bring you to that place of revelation
  1243. 1:01:41and realization.
  1244. 1:01:43You know that's what we are really
  1245. 1:01:45missing in our lives. I know that the
  1246. 1:01:48Holy Spirit has been merciful and
  1247. 1:01:50faithful to bring rays of light into our
  1248. 1:01:53lives. But saints, that is not the place
  1249. 1:01:57of seeing. That's only rays of light. It
  1250. 1:02:01would create an inspiration and it will
  1251. 1:02:06but many a time when that inspiration
  1252. 1:02:08comes we have no time. We are so busy
  1253. 1:02:12and the pharaoh keeps us so busy you
  1254. 1:02:15know and we know that we have no time
  1255. 1:02:18but light cannot come revelation cannot
  1256. 1:02:22come unless we give ourselves to this
  1257. 1:02:25inspiring work that will bring us to a
  1258. 1:02:28revelation you know. Yes. So then we
  1259. 1:02:33come to a place of realization, a
  1260. 1:02:36settled place in the truth in our lives.
  1261. 1:02:41Yes. Yes. We come to that place you know
  1262. 1:02:45where you are immovable about that
  1263. 1:02:48truth. You know as that man said many
  1264. 1:02:52things I don't know
  1265. 1:02:54>> but one thing I know I was blind but now
  1266. 1:02:58I see what this is. Now I know what this
  1267. 1:03:01means.
  1268. 1:03:03I come to a subtle position immovable. I
  1269. 1:03:06am not shaky anymore.
  1270. 1:03:09Nobody can shake me.
  1271. 1:03:12I stand in the authority of that.
  1272. 1:03:15I tell you what a position that is. What
  1273. 1:03:18do you think? Do you desire to be in a
  1274. 1:03:20position like whether I think like that
  1275. 1:03:22on a Sunday but continue in that?
  1276. 1:03:27Please understand. I know that these
  1277. 1:03:28things are hardly spoken anywhere else.
  1278. 1:03:32It is all Sunday service. It's just
  1279. 1:03:35Sunday word. It is a blessed time. And
  1280. 1:03:39go all the way. If you're serious, think
  1281. 1:03:42about it. If you're serious, obey it.
  1282. 1:03:44Otherwise, doesn't matter. After all at
  1283. 1:03:46the end, heaven is our place.
  1284. 1:03:49That's the attitude that governs many
  1285. 1:03:51lives.
  1286. 1:03:53>> Sins of God. So we come to that subtle
  1287. 1:03:56place, that place of realization.
  1288. 1:04:00>> Yes.
  1289. 1:04:01>> Yes. Now this realization,
  1290. 1:04:05you know what it does? It brings
  1291. 1:04:07transformation.
  1292. 1:04:09That brings changes. How can I be
  1293. 1:04:12disobedient?
  1294. 1:04:13How can I do this? How can I agree with
  1295. 1:04:17that? This is not according to God's
  1296. 1:04:19word. That is not the way of God.
  1297. 1:04:23Saints of God, this is a tremendous
  1298. 1:04:25thing for us to experience.
  1299. 1:04:29True transformation
  1300. 1:04:32comes out of a revelation and
  1301. 1:04:34realization.
  1302. 1:04:36>> Yes.
  1303. 1:04:37>> You know, it will produce faith and
  1304. 1:04:39obedience in us. True revelation and
  1305. 1:04:43realization produces obedience faith
  1306. 1:04:46that we see changes in our lives. Yes.
  1307. 1:04:51>> It becomes as we heard a delivering
  1308. 1:04:53light in our lives. Not just light but a
  1309. 1:04:56delivering light. Yes. Saints of God.
  1310. 1:05:01And when transformation happens in our
  1311. 1:05:03lives, it brings us into a
  1312. 1:05:06manifestation.
  1313. 1:05:08manifesting the life of the Lord Jesus.
  1314. 1:05:11You know that manifestation, you know,
  1315. 1:05:13we talk about the manifestation of the
  1316. 1:05:15sons of God. It's not just an objective
  1317. 1:05:18thing that will suddenly happen.
  1318. 1:05:21>> He that had this hope purifation
  1319. 1:05:33is a result of a transformation in our
  1320. 1:05:36lives.
  1321. 1:05:37>> Okay. Saints of God, you know, mere
  1322. 1:05:40mental knowledge never will bring us ne
  1323. 1:05:44will never bring us to transformation.
  1324. 1:05:47That's why many who have mental
  1325. 1:05:49knowledge, their lives are never chang.
  1326. 1:05:52We can talk about the fruit of the
  1327. 1:05:54spirit.
  1328. 1:05:55>> We can memorize that. We can preach that
  1329. 1:05:59>> but we will never bear that fruit ever
  1330. 1:06:01in our lives
  1331. 1:06:04because it's not something tied onto a
  1332. 1:06:06tree.
  1333. 1:06:07It has to grow on the tree.
  1334. 1:06:10It has to grow on the tree.
  1335. 1:06:13That growing on the tree is a process.
  1336. 1:06:16You know many are trying to have the
  1337. 1:06:18fruit of the spirit
  1338. 1:06:20you know by teaching and preaching and
  1339. 1:06:23desiring for it but it will never
  1340. 1:06:26happen.
  1341. 1:06:27Unless there is a transforming work that
  1342. 1:06:30will bring change
  1343. 1:06:32and that will only bring manifestation
  1344. 1:06:35in our lives you know saints of God and
  1345. 1:06:38I want to tell you one thing you know we
  1346. 1:06:41need to realize this you know and so as
  1347. 1:06:44we are hearing about overcomers
  1348. 1:06:48>> it's not a matter it's not a matter of
  1349. 1:06:51doctrine
  1350. 1:06:52>> but it's a matter of our lives being
  1351. 1:06:54changed into that place.
  1352. 1:06:58>> It's a matter of going upward in Zion's
  1353. 1:07:03uh pathway highway.
  1354. 1:07:05>> Yes. So, as we heard, rejoice in heavens
  1355. 1:07:09and those who dwell there.
  1356. 1:07:11>> You know, we need to realize it's a
  1357. 1:07:13realm and place. It's not something we
  1358. 1:07:16just think about. We look up and say,
  1359. 1:07:18"Oh, it's a matter of coming in
  1360. 1:07:22>> a work of God in our lives now. Yes. Now
  1361. 1:07:26remember one thing when we read the book
  1362. 1:07:30of Ephesians,
  1363. 1:07:32>> you know, when we read the book of
  1364. 1:07:34Ephesians
  1365. 1:07:36and chapter 6, you know, may God help us
  1366. 1:07:40with light and understanding,
  1367. 1:07:43>> you know, let's not forget what we have
  1368. 1:07:45received of the Lord
  1369. 1:07:47>> and pray that God will give us
  1370. 1:07:50illumination, rays of light which will
  1371. 1:07:53take us to a place of inspiration
  1372. 1:07:57and inspiration will work in us. You
  1373. 1:08:01know, bring us to that place of spending
  1374. 1:08:03time where we'll have the revelation.
  1375. 1:08:06Amen. That seeing and bring us to a
  1376. 1:08:10place of realizing what we have seen a
  1377. 1:08:13settled place
  1378. 1:08:15that it becomes, you know, a delivering
  1379. 1:08:18light within us that produces obedience
  1380. 1:08:22and faith in us.
  1381. 1:08:24Amen. To experience changes of
  1382. 1:08:27transformation
  1383. 1:08:29which will bring us into manifestation.
  1384. 1:08:32>> Yes.
  1385. 1:08:33>> Yes. So let's as I said we need to
  1386. 1:08:37understand the language of the spirit.
  1387. 1:08:41The ways of the spirit
  1388. 1:08:44you know these are things we have to
  1389. 1:08:45learn. You know when we yield ourselves
  1390. 1:08:48to the spirit we would learn. You know
  1391. 1:08:51our as I said our physical mind is
  1392. 1:08:53caught up with physical way of seeing
  1393. 1:08:55things our natural mind. Yes.
  1394. 1:08:59>> Yes. Now for example Ephesians chapter 6
  1395. 1:09:03and verse 12.
  1396. 1:09:05For we wrestle not against flesh and
  1397. 1:09:08blood but against principalities against
  1398. 1:09:11powers against the rulers of darkness of
  1399. 1:09:14this world against the spiritual
  1400. 1:09:16wickedness in high places. Yeah.
  1401. 1:09:20Now the place of the heavenlies
  1402. 1:09:23you know which we are to inherit
  1403. 1:09:26is now occupied by demons,
  1404. 1:09:29principalities and powers
  1405. 1:09:33a place that they have userbed
  1406. 1:09:36you know from Adam.
  1407. 1:09:38>> Yes. And so Paul says here that we are
  1408. 1:09:43into a great battle. We wrestle against
  1409. 1:09:46these powers. rulers of darkness of this
  1410. 1:09:49world. But God has purposed
  1411. 1:09:53to bring a people
  1412. 1:09:55that will ascend
  1413. 1:09:58or we caught up
  1414. 1:10:00to that place.
  1415. 1:10:02That's what we read in the book of
  1416. 1:10:04Revelation chapter 12. Let us go back to
  1417. 1:10:08see the overcomers there. We see the
  1418. 1:10:13overcomers there. Verse um
  1419. 1:10:18one second
  1420. 1:10:20verse 9. And the great dragon was cast
  1421. 1:10:24out, the old serpent called the devil
  1422. 1:10:27and Satan, which deceived the world, and
  1423. 1:10:31he was cast out into the earth, and his
  1424. 1:10:35angels were cast out with him.
  1425. 1:10:38>> Yes.
  1426. 1:10:40And I heard a loud voice saying in
  1427. 1:10:42heaven, "Now is come salvation and
  1428. 1:10:45strength and the kingdom of our God and
  1429. 1:10:47the power of Christ, for the accuser of
  1430. 1:10:50our brethren is cast down which accused
  1431. 1:10:53them before God our God day and night."
  1432. 1:10:58>> Yes.
  1433. 1:10:59>> Yes. Verse five. And she brought forth a
  1434. 1:11:02manchild who was to rule all nations
  1435. 1:11:06with a rod of iron. and her child was
  1436. 1:11:08caught up under God unto his throne.
  1437. 1:11:13Verse seven, and there was a war in
  1438. 1:11:15heaven.
  1439. 1:11:17>> Michael and his angels fought against a
  1440. 1:11:20dragon, and the dragon fought against
  1441. 1:11:22his angels, and prevailed not, neither
  1442. 1:11:25was their place found anymore in heaven.
  1443. 1:11:29Their place was no more found in heaven.
  1444. 1:11:31Amen.
  1445. 1:11:33So we see that this realm of the heavens
  1446. 1:11:36are us by the powers of darkness,
  1447. 1:11:41demons, principles and powers.
  1448. 1:11:44Yes. And the time of Adam's fall. Yes.
  1449. 1:11:49Yes. But the rulers of this darkness as
  1450. 1:11:52Paul says in Ephesians. [snorts]
  1451. 1:11:54But remember that God has purposed
  1452. 1:11:59his overcomers.
  1453. 1:12:02God will bring forth a company of
  1454. 1:12:04overcomers
  1455. 1:12:06that will ascend to those heights
  1456. 1:12:09will be caught up to that place
  1457. 1:12:13and cast down Satan and his armies. Do
  1458. 1:12:17you know that Jesus did it?
  1459. 1:12:19Yes or no? Jesus did it
  1460. 1:12:23and he is the pattern.
  1461. 1:12:26He is the example for the overcomers.
  1462. 1:12:30The sons are to follow him. The elder
  1463. 1:12:34elder elder brother. Yes. Remember
  1464. 1:12:37saints of God. He is the pattern son.
  1465. 1:12:41And every son is to follow him.
  1466. 1:12:45The sons of God are to follow him. Yes.
  1467. 1:12:49The Lord Jesus has purposed that he will
  1468. 1:12:53not be alone in this. He has planned it.
  1469. 1:12:56He's planted such a way it shall be a
  1470. 1:12:59many membered sons.
  1471. 1:13:02He planted a seed in the ground THAT
  1472. 1:13:05SHOULD BRING FORTH A company of sons
  1473. 1:13:09in his likeness and image
  1474. 1:13:13since that is the plan and purpose of
  1475. 1:13:16God. So let's make note of the
  1476. 1:13:18scriptures
  1477. 1:13:21that God will bring forth that company
  1478. 1:13:23of people. We are to bear the image
  1479. 1:13:28>> and bear uh the glory of the heavenly.
  1480. 1:13:33>> Yes. So that that's where God is
  1481. 1:13:36bringing his many membered sons, his
  1482. 1:13:39overcomers.
  1483. 1:13:40As we heard that's where transformation
  1484. 1:13:43happens. Saints without revelation
  1485. 1:13:47and realization
  1486. 1:13:50that delivering light there can be no
  1487. 1:13:52transformation change in our lives. We
  1488. 1:13:56heard that Zion is a realm of
  1489. 1:13:58transformation.
  1490. 1:14:00>> Hallelujah. Amen. Do you remember that?
  1491. 1:14:02Yes. No.
  1492. 1:14:04>> It's a place of transformation change.
  1493. 1:14:07You know that's why when we we share we
  1494. 1:14:10counsel
  1495. 1:14:12it's so easy to talk to those who have a
  1496. 1:14:15revelation
  1497. 1:14:17they easily accept the counselss the
  1498. 1:14:19corrections they're open about it.
  1499. 1:14:23No they want to receive the those little
  1500. 1:14:26corrections in their lives because they
  1501. 1:14:30they want to move on. They want to be
  1502. 1:14:32changed.
  1503. 1:14:34They will make the ifs and buts and you
  1504. 1:14:36know all kinds of excuses
  1505. 1:14:39but they're open because they want to be
  1506. 1:14:42changed. They want to be transformed. As
  1507. 1:14:46we heard Zion is a realm and a place of
  1508. 1:14:49transformation. You know heavenly
  1509. 1:14:51places.
  1510. 1:14:53You know as I said a while back I said
  1511. 1:14:55if possible we'll come there. Let me
  1512. 1:14:57bring you there now. You know the
  1513. 1:14:59heavenly places. And as I said, our
  1514. 1:15:02physical mind looks up. Heaven, heavenly
  1515. 1:15:05place. Remember, it is not some
  1516. 1:15:08geographical location.
  1517. 1:15:11Please be delivered from it. The
  1518. 1:15:14heavenly places is not a geographical
  1519. 1:15:17place.
  1520. 1:15:18>> Oh, a few few billion miles away. That's
  1521. 1:15:22what people think.
  1522. 1:15:25But they are heavenly places in Christ.
  1523. 1:15:28You know suppose please listen to me
  1524. 1:15:32you can discuss later. You know many
  1525. 1:15:35preachers preach like that heaven
  1526. 1:15:39billions away and people think like that
  1527. 1:15:43>> and Satan all all the powers are there.
  1528. 1:15:46If that were true if that were true okay
  1529. 1:15:51how wonderful it would have been. My
  1530. 1:15:54life would be so easy because he is
  1531. 1:15:56billions away. What do you think? Is he
  1532. 1:15:59billions away in your life? Bolo, is
  1533. 1:16:03Satan billions of miles away? He's so
  1534. 1:16:06close to you. Is that not a reality?
  1535. 1:16:10I wish he was billions away, miles away.
  1536. 1:16:13But I tell you, he's here.
  1537. 1:16:17He's just here. But then why do you
  1538. 1:16:19think like powers and principles
  1539. 1:16:22heavenly so we will march there and go
  1540. 1:16:24there and beat them up and bring come on
  1541. 1:16:28>> it's a physical mind of ours
  1542. 1:16:31we need to understand the spiritual
  1543. 1:16:34language the spiritual understanding we
  1544. 1:16:36must our eyes must be open to say the
  1545. 1:16:38sins so we realize Satan and demons and
  1546. 1:16:42powers and principalities they are not a
  1547. 1:16:45millions of miles away they're so close
  1548. 1:16:47to us
  1549. 1:16:49>> right here.
  1550. 1:16:50>> We sense, we feel
  1551. 1:16:52>> right here on the earth. Yes or no?
  1552. 1:16:55>> Working on the earth in the lives of men
  1553. 1:16:58and women.
  1554. 1:16:59>> Yes. As Paul says here in Ephesians,
  1555. 1:17:04he says against spiritual wickedness in
  1556. 1:17:07high places. Instead of accepting the
  1557. 1:17:12simple truth in the word of God, you
  1558. 1:17:16know, men's imaginations have gone so
  1559. 1:17:19high.
  1560. 1:17:21>> Preachers and teachers making heavenly
  1561. 1:17:23places somewhere millions of miles away.
  1562. 1:17:28>> Yes.
  1563. 1:17:30>> Oh, I tell you, the imaginations of men
  1564. 1:17:33are preaching and teaching many things
  1565. 1:17:35today. But God, you know what God is
  1566. 1:17:38doing? He's taking the whale away. Amen.
  1567. 1:17:42When our heart turns to God, the whale
  1568. 1:17:45shall be taken away. Hallelujah.
  1569. 1:17:49OH, I WISH IF SOME OF US WOULD STAND UP
  1570. 1:17:51AND SAY, I AM LIKE THAT BLIND MAN. I
  1571. 1:17:54COULD NOT SEE. Now I see. Hallelujah.
  1572. 1:17:58>> Yes. Saints of God, God is revealing his
  1573. 1:18:02truth.
  1574. 1:18:03Oh, glory to God. He is opening the eyes
  1575. 1:18:06of his overcomers. God is opening the
  1576. 1:18:09eyes of those who are moving on to Zion.
  1577. 1:18:13One thing more and I'm going to close. I
  1578. 1:18:15know the time is up. I took a little
  1579. 1:18:16longer time but forgive me for that as
  1580. 1:18:20usual but I'm going to close. Praise
  1581. 1:18:23saints of God. That little rays of light
  1582. 1:18:27will bring realization sorry uh
  1583. 1:18:30inspiration within you. Don't brush it
  1584. 1:18:33aside. Go and seek the Lord.
  1585. 1:18:36Illumination will work inspiration in
  1586. 1:18:40you. Take time.
  1587. 1:18:43Take time. Any amount of crying and
  1588. 1:18:45praying will not do that. It's a
  1589. 1:18:47process. Then revelation will come. Then
  1590. 1:18:51realization will come. You will come to
  1591. 1:18:54a settled position in that.
  1592. 1:18:58Faith and obedience will be your
  1593. 1:18:59portion. Changes will be your portion.
  1594. 1:19:03What a tremendous life God has called
  1595. 1:19:04us.
  1596. 1:19:06Oh, may God help us. Finally, just one
  1597. 1:19:08more truth and and I'll close. There is
  1598. 1:19:12only one overcomer in the universe
  1599. 1:19:18and that is the Lord Jesus. Amen.
  1600. 1:19:21There's only one overcomer. That is the
  1601. 1:19:23Lord Jesus Christ. And if there were
  1602. 1:19:26ever any other overcomers, they will
  1603. 1:19:29only be an extension of his overcoming.
  1604. 1:19:33Amen.
  1605. 1:19:34Amen.
  1606. 1:19:36>> It will ever be an extension of his
  1607. 1:19:38overcoming,
  1608. 1:19:40>> the expansion of his victory.
  1609. 1:19:42>> Yes. That corporate oneness
  1610. 1:19:46>> within. It's not two lives,
  1611. 1:19:50not two distinctive experiences, but
  1612. 1:19:53it's the same.
  1613. 1:19:55That's what Jesus said. Overcome
  1614. 1:19:58even as I overcame. Amen. It's not two
  1615. 1:20:03different things.
  1616. 1:20:04>> The same thing.
  1617. 1:20:07Do you agree to that?
  1618. 1:20:09>> Agree and go to the Lord and he will
  1619. 1:20:11give you the revelation.
  1620. 1:20:13All right. May God help us. Not two
  1621. 1:20:17things. It's the same thing. Overcome
  1622. 1:20:20even as I over. That's the nature of
  1623. 1:20:23overcoming. So it is going to be an
  1624. 1:20:26impartation of his
  1625. 1:20:28>> his triumph into our lives. It is. Yeah.
  1626. 1:20:33>> Yes. It's the sharing of his victory. It
  1627. 1:20:37is not several victories.
  1628. 1:20:40It is the sharing of his victory. It's
  1629. 1:20:43not thousand odd victories.
  1630. 1:20:46It is one victory.
  1631. 1:20:48As we read, it's one body. He is the
  1632. 1:20:51only overcomer
  1633. 1:20:54and we all will be overcomers with him.
  1634. 1:20:58Yes. Yes.
  1635. 1:21:00That overcoming life of Christ will have
  1636. 1:21:03to work out in our lives. His victories
  1637. 1:21:07will have to be worked out in our lives.
  1638. 1:21:10Yes, saints of God. No wonder Paul said
  1639. 1:21:14Christ in you the hope of glory. And I
  1640. 1:21:18want to tell you saints, the Lord is
  1641. 1:21:20truly preparing a table in the
  1642. 1:21:23wilderness for his overcoming church
  1643. 1:21:25today. Amen. I will close for today and
  1644. 1:21:29may God really help us. Do not waste
  1645. 1:21:32your days
  1646. 1:21:34and your opportunities. We need
  1647. 1:21:37revelation.
  1648. 1:21:39We need understanding by the spirit
  1649. 1:21:42not mental knowledge you know and may we
  1650. 1:21:45really go to the Lord in prayer and seek
  1651. 1:21:48him
  1652. 1:21:48>> and that's where revelation come. That
  1653. 1:21:51is where realization come. That is where
  1654. 1:21:54the delivering light comes into. You
  1655. 1:21:56know it would be a statement of
  1656. 1:21:58authority. When we say I see it or how I
  1657. 1:22:01wish, how I wish we all would be like
  1658. 1:22:04that.
  1659. 1:22:06And remember when the light comes, it
  1660. 1:22:08demolishes
  1661. 1:22:10what is not of the light.
  1662. 1:22:12It removes them and they do not exist
  1663. 1:22:15anymore. And may God help us. Shall we
  1664. 1:22:18all stand up in his presence
  1665. 1:22:21and thank the Lord for his faithfulness?
  1666. 1:22:23Thank you, Jesus.
  1667. 1:22:33[music]
